THE SLACK.
The slack, a waste material OF the
mine, was taken care Of so as not TO be
a damage to any one, as we'll as it is
possible TO do, and if damages have re-
suited, it is not the fault or willfulncss
of the company The case being in
progress at this writing, aud likely 10

printed, we shall not give our impress
sions, because We know the force they

The 6rst person to meet and greet us
on our arrival at the depot was Prof.

ly clad, pretty as oar own Logan lads
and lassies, who are noted as the pret--
tiest iu the land.
The marble craze had not yet struck
the youth ofLongstreths at the time of
our visit, and the boys in squads roam
ed about the streets in an aimless kind
of way.
Once when the company had gone of
to look for slack, we saunte red down
the street alone. and met a gang of
about a dozen lads coming along,
occasionally throwing stone at dog,
or kicking a discarded tin can, we
thought to interview them
well, boys. doyou &C to school ?"
''Y es, sir, when school keeps" said
one.
DO you ever get \ licking ?"
''If we do catch it we deserve it,"
said another.
Il suppose the teacher is awful cross.
and YOU don't like him p
HE isn't cross and we do Ike him."
came in chorus of the gang.
well, what is your teachers name?"
In response to this, little, chubby,
red haired, rosy checked, blue eyed six
year old stepped to the front, and said:
'Mishter, me tacher's name is Mr..
Crawford, if ye plase, sur, and he's fit
mon TO be guv ner."
The other boys all laughed. We said
Ny Son, what is your name p
Said he, "Tis OF nosmather whir. ye
don't know the tacher."
This put the marbles on the edit-r.
and when we find ont the name Of shat
gallant spirited little Irish boy. w:o is
ioval to his teacher, we will send him a
box OF marbles and the Sentinel.
